<ul>
  <li><kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd><span>↑</span></kbd> and <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> +<kbd><span>↓</span></kbd>:
    Move the note up or down in the order.</li>
  <li><kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd><span>←</span></kbd>: Move the note up in the hierarchy
    by changing its parent to the note's grandparent.</li>
  <li><kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd><span>→</span></kbd>: Move the note down in the hierarchy
    by setting its parent to the note currently above it (this action is best
    understood through a demo or hands-on experience).</li>
  <li><kbd><span>←</span></kbd> and <kbd><span>→</span></kbd>: Expand and collapse
    a sub-tree.</li>
</ul>
